CoC NOFO Information

Continuum of Care Funding Opportunities

Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards funding to Continuums of Care (CoC) through a competitive application process.  Each CoC must designate a “collaborative applicant” to submit applications to HUD on behalf of the entire CoC. 

The Coalition for the Homeless as the collaborative applicant for the Louisville/Jefferson County CoC, is responsible for coordinating local competitions and submitting a Consolidated Application (per funding opportunity) to HUD on behalf of the CoC. Individual projects requesting funding, both new and renewal, submit information directly to the Coalition for the Homeless. A Consolidated Application consists of three parts: a CoC Application completed by the Coalition for the Homeless responding to questions relating to system-wide initiatives and performance; individual project applications; and a “priority listing” of projects in rank order based on selection criteria set by the Louisville/Jefferson County CoC Board of Directors.

For FY22, there were two separate funding opportunities, and new applicants not currently receiving CoC funding were welcome and encouraged to apply. 

On Tuesday, August 16, 2022 the Louisville/Jefferson County Continuum of Care officially began accepting applications for both funding opportunities.

On Wednesday, September 28, 2022, the Louisville/Jefferson County Continuum of Care posted the following documents for review ahead of the September 30, 2022 submission deadline: FY22 Final Continuum of Care Consolidated Application and Final FY22 Project Priority Listing. (See the info below regarding the special NOFO to address unsheltered and rural homelessness.)
